Re: [Assam] Hindenberg
Dear Mr. Hazarika, Thanks for your interest. .Zepellin was pioneered by the German Count Ferdinand von Zepelin. (Ferdinand Adolf Heinrich August Graf von Zeppelin) The company has diversified. http://www.zeppelin.de/de/start.php?js=1 . .They have a branch in India too: Zeppelin Systems India Pvt. Ltd.(Food Technology) , Vadodara .Since 1993 airships have been built again in the Zeppelin town of Friedrichshafen near the Swiss boarder. It is about 166 kms from Munich. It is very well possible that you passed through this town. http://www.zeppelinflug.de . .From there one can still take air tour and charter flights by Zeppelin. http://www.zeppelinflug.de/uebersicht-320.html .Airship Ventures Inc. was founded in California in 2007. It is a privately owned company intending to use Zeppelin NT airships in the USA for commercial air trips and scientific purposes as well as advertising and media campaigns. Since fall 2008, a Zeppelin NT airship has offered flights over San Francisco. http://www.zeppelinflug.de/fluege-weltweit-345.html .In Rotterdam during the summer, we can take a zeppelin tour over Rotterdam city and the Rotterdam port.

I remember three years back when we were driving to Munich, we passed by a Zeppelin factory.The driver of the vehicle also pointed to a zeppelin in the sky. Are they still being manufactured? The photographs and the film was astonishing.

It is about the maiden voyage of zeppelin Hindenburg and its disaster more than 75 year ago in 1937. This is from 1937. As this has some historical importance, I have taken the liberty of mailing it across for those who missed it. Sorry for unintentional cross postings. **Be sure to click on the link in photo 22 to see the 'newsreel' film of the Hindenburg crash.
